Too Much Stuff

[Jerryc41]

I just sorted out all my uke stuff. For some reason, I have a dozen fretboards and blanks to make three or four more. I know I'll never make a dozen ukuleles, but it's nice knowing I have the parts.

I also have a dozen or more sets of tuners, but most of them are cheapies that I removed to replace with something better.

Perhaps make a uke with multiple fretboards.......

How about a body consisting of fretboards? : )

If I was making a uke, spoilage would be a big issue concerning what I had on hand.

Well, I've spoiled a few ukes I was trying to make, but whatta ya gonna do?

I keep my supplies in the freezer, so I don't think they're going to spoil.

Thanks. That's part of my "Too much stuff."

And speaking of too much stuff - are you comfortable sharing a current instrument count?

I really am very proud to have one of my former ukes in whatever that number is!

You can make a huge zither or a harp out of all the junky tuning machines you have removed from ukes. You can put it somewhere it can be strummed as you walk by it.

Thank you for making me and a whole lot of other people feel less guilty.

Wow! I want to know how you find time to change strings on all those.

I bought a guitar a few years ago, it sounds great. I'm hoping that when I change the strings for the first time, I'm not disappointed. I suppose I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that. Now that I think about it, I have 4 ukes with the original strings that came with them as used purchases. An A-string is fraying (living waters) but it has been fraying for three or four years!
